Parco Nazionale del Gran Sasso e Monti della Laga

A European Monument to Biodiversity

Gran Sasso e Monti della Laga National Park covers an area of 150,000 hectares. It is one of the largest parks in Italy. It offers a number of proposals, itineraries and visits for every season thanks to the richness of its habitats, of its massifs and thanks to the charming historical-architectonical evidences. The Park is made up of three mountain groups: the chain of Gran Sasso d'Italia, the massif of Laga, and Monti Gemelli. The Park is also characterized by the presence of the highest peak of the Apennines, Corno Grande (2,912 meters). On this chain there is the only Apennine glacier, the Calderone, which is also the southernmost glacier in Europe.
